2008-06-12T09:33:00.000-07:00

Some months ago, I enter into the famous Louvre Museum in a very cloudy day. This the place where stay some of the most beautiful painting and artwork of all over the world.

Istantly, when I exit from slinding scale of the underground, I lighten by the view of this majestic palace, that's right this building is wonderful.

People enter in the Museum through a suggestive glass pyramid.

I'm not linger on the exclusive and rare beauty of painting but I can't express the emotion that I feel looking over the “Cana's Marriage” of Veronese, a stupendous painting with a special allure, not only for his size of about ten meters. The same sensation is for all works in the Museum.

I sit down in a bench and I visualize the transposition of the charaters nowadays, dreaming which kind of shoes they had.

From this point is began the original idea for the fall/winter collection 08, and, as every year, there is an alphabetic letter wich mark the Collection. This year is the letter G, and all shoes names begin for this.

If you love the charm of Manolo the Shoeblogger and you immediately recognise his signature “You are super fantastic!” ( I bought the legendary T-shirt!!!) ... You must have his book, The Consolation of the Shoes.
The Consolation of the Shoes is a short and sweet illustration of the young Manolo’s love for the shoes. With brief references to some of the most important shoes in history ... Definitely a must read…..especially for shoe lovers.

How to Break in High Heel Shoes

2008-01-08T09:24:00.000-08:00

New shoes can be harsh on your feet, but being patient before wearing those fabulous shoes out on the town can save those feet some pain. Breaking your shoes, especially high heel shoes in before going out in them is an essential step to create that fierce walk.

Step One

Buy the correct size! If the shoe is too small no amount of breaking in the shoe will help your feet, and if the shoe is too big it will cause you to fall and nothing will be able to save your face.

Step two

Wear the shoes in you house for thirty minutes every day, or until your feet begin to hurt, whichever comes first. Not only will this break in your shoe but it will give you plenty of time to practice walking in this specific heel.

secret benefits of womens shoes

2007-11-20T02:41:00.000-08:00

Womens high heel shoes increase the lift of a woman’s bottom by 25%. Amazingly true when you wear a pair of high heels the height of the heel creates this lift. High heel shoes also lengthen the look of your legs and make them appear slimmer.
Womens cowboy boots will make any woman look sexier. Worn with knee length skirts these boots will give you a little heel height to create slimmer legs and give you sex appeal.
Finding the right pair of womens golf shoes could shed you 600 calories!
Investing in a pair of decent womens running shoes will lead to major life improvements generally and where your health is concerned.
Choosing the right colour shoe will improve other aspects of your life.
For example of all the colours in the spectrum green is easiest on the eye. Pastel green and other pastel colours will tranquilize energy whilst reds and purples will draw energy. Pinks will soothe emotions.
Womens shoes are about fashion, trends and style but there are major advantages to you if you choose them carefully and become familiar with some of the benefits they can give you.

St. Crispin ... the first shoemaker

2007-10-26T02:18:00.000-07:00

Shoemaking has a long history and one that is rich in tradition. Within the trade itself -- among shoe and bootmakers -- the legends, the traditions, and the history really begin with St. Crispin. St. Crispin is the patron saint of shoemakers. Since medieval times, October 25th has been celebrated as St. Crispin's Day and the Shoemaker's Holiday. In the past, boot and shoemakers traditionally closed their shops on this day, in celebration and commemoration. Actually there are two stories that seem to be the same... one in England, one in France. St. Crispin was born into a wealthy Roman family in the third century A.D.. Somewhere fairly early on, he converted to Christianity. Since this was not an approved lifestyle for a noble Roman, legend says that he was disinherited. Forced to fall back upon his own resources, St. Crispin (not yet a saint) became a shoemaker...

a tower of shoes

2007-10-16T01:50:00.001-07:00

Been wondering what to do with all those old shoes lying around the house? We think we've just found your answer—build a gigantic sculpture made from shoes! Of course, why didn't we think of that?

In an over-the-top homage to the world's most celebrated accessory, this giant shoe was constructed from 300 odd male and female shoes (both modern and ancient), and is made from glass fiber reinforced plastic. Measuring just under 40 feet, the sculpture took three years to complete.
Have you ever seen anything this beautiful?

"You move through the world with an uber-confident horsey walk and are often found on a city street, hailing a cab while talking on your phone. An intriguing mix of traditional and modern, deep down you believe in the fact that men provide and women look good. At the same time, you embrace your raw female power, stepping out smartly, never afraid to state what you want. You are extremely self-possessed and very much your own woman".

Do girls, tell us all! What is there of better whether to purchase a new pair of shoes?
Certain: won't it make us stop crying for the little fellow that has abandoned us or it won't make us pass the headache, but the good sensation in spending to buy some shoes is quiete irrenounceable?
The impulse to the purchase, and the emotion that invades us to the single thought to make to slip the foot in a new shoe, object of our desire is also out of any description ...

When buying clothes, it is important to have classic items (those that I call "investment pieces") in your wardrobe that you will be able to wear for years. Trends are great, but you need to build your wardrobe with some of the basic staples. Here are a few items I thought everyone should have in their wardrobe: black dress pants, tailored suit, little black dress, Jeans, classic white blouse, cardigan sweater and finally classic black heels.

Caligarius for being Princess
